When I talked to you in March, you expressed an interest in seeing this paper when it was finished. Ply original intention to focus on "bureaucratic-pragmatic style" has been somewhat diverted to an attempt to suggest elements in a typology of crises. The broader theme of style still remains, however, the concern underlying my whole current approach to a thesis topic. I would appreciate it if you would read this paper and then give me your comments, especially with regard to the following points: Is there something grossly wrong with this approach -- such as dangerous oversimplification, naivete, unsupportable assertions, or poorly phrased categories? Even if so, is there any merit in trying to continue this effort and expand it into some kind of thesis? What omissions, inclusions, or revisions would put me on the track of a worthwhile thesis? If you should wish to make your comments by letter before I return to Cambridge in mid-September, I would certainly be grateful. But that is not essential since I am fully occupied working here for the Navy Department and do not expect to have much time for thesis-related work. Thank you again for your advice. st,u4tApt i3t,..6.4 t Charles Stevenson 126 - 11 th St., SE Washington, D.C. 20003 Prof. aenry Kissiniir 6 Divinity Avenue Cambridge, Mass. 02138 I I EY June 22, 19P7 Mr. Charles Stevenson 126 Eleventh Street, S.E.
